Name: Burningrose Age: Twenty-one moons Gender: Female Rank: Medicine Cat Clan: HailClan Personality: Burningrose is, one might say, not exactly the kind of cat who is cut out for the quiet life of being a medicine cat. She started out as a warrior, but when the need for a medicine cat apprentice came up, she was pressured into becoming one. She doesn't believe she can interpret signs, because she doesn't think she was ever meant to become a medicine cat. She avoids talking with anyone on matters of StarClan, and also avoids talking to StarClan as best as she can. She believes in them, but she doesn't want contact with them, and she doesn't like them. This is mostly due to the fact that she is bitter about not being a warrior.
She doesn't talk very much, but when she does she speaks with a very sharp tongue. She has a fiery temper, and a cynical outlook on life. Because of her pent-up desire to fight, she almost has a kind of bloodlust. When examining her patients, she'll press on their wounds a little harder than usual in order to hear a few squeaks of pain. She always apologizes afterwards, and says she didn't mean to do it, which is more often believed than not. Nonetheless, the fact that she is vicious -- and perhaps a little on the sadistic side, causes some cats to avoid her. She is mentally stable, but her morals are somewhat askew.
Physical Description: She is a tortoiseshell she-cat. The base of her fur is white, covered in patches of dark colors. She has black patches, burnt orange patches, reddish patches, and dark brown patches. All of the patches on her fur are very vivid but very dark in color. Her left eye is surrounded in a patch of black, and the right one is surrounded in a half-black, half-red patch. She has a patch of orange-red on her left ear that spreads down to her cheek. The tip of her tail is covered in mottled brown and black. Her fur itself is very long and luxurious, well kept and silky, without a knot or a tangle in sight. She is, all in all, a very beautiful young medicine cat.
Her eyes are deep blue, and very round. Her face is narrow, and her muzzle is narrow as well. Her ears are very small, and almost rounded in shape. She has rows of white whiskers lining her face. Her tail is long, and covered in soft feathery fur. Her entire build is very small, and light. Her legs are short but thin, and she is entirely feminine in her looks. She is often complimented by toms, but she doesn't like to even give them the time of day. History: Burningrose is the daughter of Ivoryclaw, a warrior of HailClan, who died shortly after giving birth to her only daughter. Burningrose never knew who her father was. She figures it was some anonymous tom in the Clan who just didn't want to get involved in her life. Burningrose was named Burningkit because of the color of the patches on her fur, very burnt, dark colors like fire and the after-effects of fire.
The previous medicine cat of HailClan was growing old, and she was one of the only kits old enough to be made an apprentice at the time, so she was pressured by several Clan members into becoming the next medicine cat apprentice. The previous medicine cat barely lasted past her apprenticeship, only just managing to give her the name of Burningrose (the last thing he saw was a vision of her standing among thorns and roses) before he passed away.
She never much cared for her job as medicine cat, but she couldn't step down for fear of ridicule or shame. So she stuck to it after her mentor passed on. As time went on, she became more and more bitter at the fact that she hadn't become a warrior. She became jealous and spiteful, watching them fight and hunt, and do all of the things she had always wanted to do. Eventually, she developed a sort of mean, cruel streak, and began treating her patients with little care and even intentionally causing them problems.
So far she's managed not to get caught in her malpractice, playing the part of an innocent cat who is a little naive and still has a lot to learn. This has kept her out of trouble so far, but nonetheless her fascination with pain may yet get her in trouble. Other notes:

It's really good, she's definitely unique!
There's just one thing here from your history: "Eventually, she developed a sort of mean, cruel streak, and began treating her patience with little care and even intentionally causing them problems." Did you mean "patients"? If so, please fix it. c: Once you confirm that and fix it if necessary, it'll be accepted!

It's totally fine. XD I think a lot of us do that, but that's what proof-reading and double-checking is for~ But yes, it's fixed, so you're accepted!
Locked and moved!
